Editor's note
=============
Now here's a thought to get the brain working at the start of
the week: if you had to choose only one, what single skill would
you teach that would significantly improve the performance of
organisations? Columnist Godfrey Parkin has his own curious
answer, but we'd love to hear yours.

On a sad note we've reached the end of Paul Kearns' Bitesize
Guide to Becoming a Business Partner. Thousands of you have
accessed the guide over the last 11 months, and will no doubt
miss Paul's fortnightly dose of business acumen. The good news
is that you can now access the full guide, so get it bookmarked!
